If you’ve lived in San Antonio for a while, you probably are aware of the more than 5,000 nonprofit organizations in the metropolitan area and may have received an appeal or two. If you are a fundraiser, you constantly look for ways to sharpen your skills and learn the latest trends in the fundraising profession. If you are a board member, you may want to learn more about how these fundraisers function and how nonprofits look for best practices in order to have efficient organizations that deliver effective services and programs.

You have an opportunity to get useful insight on those topics during the 29th annual conference of the Association of Fundraising Professionals San Antonio (AFP) on Feb. 21-22 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Downtown San Antonio.
